Episode 47 Noor Inayat Khan

The night air over Paris was thick with fear. In the occupied city, every shadow held a potential enemy, every knock on the door could mean the end. Yet, in a quiet attic room, a young woman with gentle eyes and a musician’s hands tapped out messages in Morse code. Her name was Noor Inayat Khan, and her call sign was "Madeleine." She was a poet, a musician, and a Sufi princess who had become one of Britain's most unlikely and courageous spies. Her story is not one of a trained killer, but of a quiet soul who, guided by an unshakeable belief in freedom, became a beacon of light in the darkest of times.
